Landfills are sealed off from the environment. Incinerators incinerate the microplastics into CO2.

Seagulls, raccoons, bears, and other animals feast on garbage and carry it back into the environment (both literally and in their gut).
Is it your position that greenhouse gasses are not bad for the environment?

Oh CO2 is definitely bad for the environment (and to an extent so are landfills) but microplastics (and plastic) aren't the main concern.

Your initial statement was that people could just not litter.
I'm showing that the issue with plastic is harder than just not littering and you're moving goalposts now.
What's your actual point?
